The product looks nice enough, but I have found it nearly impossible to install on an inside mount. No bracket is provided. Instead, you are supposed to screw the headrail directly into the window frame. That sounds easy enough, but I didn't find it to be. The headrail includes two pre-drilled holes. The instructions say to hold up the headrail, flip up the shade, and mark and pre-drill the holes into the frame. But (1) it's near impossible to do all of those things at the same time, particularly if you're working alone; and (2) even if you do, the pre-drilled holes in the headrail are at an angle, so the hole you have to drill in the window frame doesn't do much good; and (3) when you want to screw it into place, you have to try to align the screw with the hole, but you also have to flip up the front of the shade, so you can't actually see the hole.
I got one shade installed, but the headrail is tilted, so I am not satisfied and will have to try it again. I tried getting the second one installed, but no luck just yet. I've also tried using clamps and other things to hold the shade in place while I work, but that has also not been helpful as of yet.
There is a very simple solution: Provide brackets. Maybe there's a reason they don't, but I am very disappointed I've spent hours trying to install these. I have installed other products very quickly when a bracket is provided.
